As requested on the title, I do not see the gingerbread and ICS style off screen animation on nexus 7.
Is it possible someone able to port the animation to the nexus 7 ? I really really like the off-screen found on the previous devices.

:highfive::victory: It would be a fantastic 7" tablet if CRT style animation does exist on nexus 7.

How would we acquire it? Porting?
I'm looking for this too. Hope its available soon
Wish I didn't read this thread. I didn't notice that was missing til now.

I miss it, too.
There has to be a way. What is missing? I have JB installed in my Nexus S, it has the 'CRT screen off' animation. Maybe this is something coded into the firmware, and not the ROM.
Could it be just a Samsung thing?

One thing that bugs me about the iPad and Nexus 7 is that the notification tray does not cover the entire width of the screen. In all honesty, it makes the tablet just look it is running a phone OS.
Is there any way to make the tray go the entire width of the screen>?
no, not in its standard form, that's the new tray, if you have tablet UI, it only takes up about 1/4 of the width of the tray and jumps up from the bottom. I'm sure some custom rom or hackery could get you what you wanted but nothing that is available to go right now.

Strictly speaking your nexus 7 IS running a phone OS, as the interface is in phone mode and not tablet mode. If you root your device you can get it to run in tablet mode and them the tray goes to bottom right of screen.

I didn't do it(I prefer it how it is) but there are a LOT of threads about it if you search. Probably even a sticky or two.

A strange thing to say considering that, on Android phones, the notification tray is full screen! Making it so on the Nexus would make it more like a phone OS in my opinion - each to their own of course!

Re-reading what I wrote, you actually make a valid point lol. I was just referring to the actual, literal size of the notification tray being virtually identical to a 4" inch phone leaving the extra space on the sides.
I know all about rooting, custom ROMs and such (major in Computer Systems) and I wasn't meaning that I wanted the Tablet UI experience. I like the stock 4.1.1 Jellybean (for now) and just wish the tray at the top was the full width of the screen. I am sure that someone will do it with a custom ROM so I am not worried about it, just curious if it is already out there.

Notification Tray
If your referring to something like this, then yes it can be done. It was on my list to for my theme, but since i saw the thread this am, I went ahead and customzed Status bar to do so.
Install paranoid android and set it to phone UI.

Yeah, WTF happened? Just did the same. 160 dpi with the 213 dpi gui? No thanks.
the update has unified the tablet UI... look at the nexus 10 and you will see you are now running the "tablet' UI. there is no split in UI like there was before (ie. no tablet and phablet difference)
Of course there are changes in 160dpi. It's not the same as 213, Youtube is still totally different, market, gmail. Just navigation and notification bar are splited. But Yeah, old ui was much better. There is too much wasted space in new UI
Hopefully some custom ROMs will add this in. Its a shame, I used to be able to operate with almost one hand and now I need the other to use the notifications. Some things were added tipi the top right quick settings but I really want it on the bottom.

That's exactly what I suspected, no tablet UI included. I am definitely won't update to this. Let's hope the community will fix that.
They're doing away with the old tablet UI to unify the devices.
-Brought to you by Marino's Galaxy Nexus-
Yeah, and that is dumb as hell in my opinion!
i dont think it is necessarily dumb. i believe it is important to not have a split experience when it comes to your OS. If you want something different that is what custom ROMs are for. But for what google is putting out they want everyone to have a similar experience no matter what device they are on. that way going from your phone to a tablet is more natural
Using Tablet UI, I experienced accidentally pressing the Nav buttons and expanding the status bar while playing games. I think keeping the buttons away from where the fingers will accidentally press them is not dumb at all. I hope they find a better way to implement Tablet UI.
When I saw that the Nexus 10 had the new UI, I feared that this would happen.
Just flashed 4.2 and it was such a pity to discover that there's no tablet ui (( I liked it so much

Seems tablet ui is being worked on for 4.2...
Here's some files you can beta test:

Now we can have multiple user accounts on our Nexus 7... I'm wondering if it's possible to have one user running at 213 dpi and another at 160 dpi, so have different resolutions per user?
I read it's a change to the system build properties file in a thread about tablet UI, so I imagine it wouldn't be that hard for some savvy person to write a script to swap that at user logon, like in a .profile or similar, if android has those. I guess it must run as root, which is surely achievable on a rooted device... :fingers-crossed:
Key Lime Pie
Hopefully Google will figure something out for Key Lime Pie, unified UI is good for noobies but power users like us want something more and that's why we went with android.
Hey all,
Now, I have done the searching, and found the thread about getting tablet UI on my Nexus 7, It looks nice and I'll probably end up using it... However, I like the way the UI is laid out on the Nexus 10...
Now, I know that the 7 will switch to landscape mode and look similar, however, I want the App Drawer and associated buttons to be across the bottom and the google search bar to be across the top like the 10, as opposed to the sides on the 7.
Now, I understand that the N10's screen is a higher resolution, but I figure if anyone has figured it out, it'd be someone here at xda.
So, my question is, has anyone figured out how to do this yet?
Are you running 4.2?
If you're running version 4.2 or over and don't mind having slightly smaller icons, I would recommend changing your DPI from 213 to 160 in /system/build.prop
Of course you will have to be rooted to do this, but this would be worth trying and should give you what you're looking for .
If you're running 4.1.2 maybe try this this method also (as I can't remember the layout when you change your DPI on 4.1.2, and you can always change it back). If not, try some launchers from the Play Store like Apex or Nova.
Hope this helps.
I'd very much like the Nexus 10 landscape on my Nexus 7 as well. Right now, the Nexus 7 landscape looks like a hack for me. It doesn't even look tablet-ish. Anxiously seeking solutions.
I tried what Fuzone suggested and it worked just fine... Needed to adjust some widgets and whatnot but other than that it's good. That is if you don't mind the smaller icons.

Nova Launcher Prime paired with paranoid rom = profit... Lower DPI with paranoid and increase rows and columns with nova if you play around with nova launcher settings you can achieve this... make launcher horizontal instead of vertical in landscape mode too in settings etc etc
please try this patch. you can have the TRUE tablet UI like Nexus 10.

Possibly silly question. How does the N10 UI / N7 tablet patch differ from dpi switch to 160 on N7 ?
I am asking from a visual standpoint, not technical....

This worked for me on 4.2.1. Flash the proper file (odexed/deodexed) tablet UI from your favorite recovery. The launcher is messed up but Nova Launcher free clears it up. See post number 912 in the following link.

While you're there, grab the appropriate stock UI file because the Nexus will not OTA update with the mod installed. Also, if you're running an earlier OS, there are files like these for 4.2 and 4.1.2 earlier in the topic.
anybody seen a really good iPhone theme? one that actually has the signal/wifi/clock etc in the right places.
the few that i found are only just replacement icons
i will set up a new sd build so i can reboot into iPhone mode...

I don't know anything about theming but I don't think it's possible to change the positions of those icons. The best you'll do is a MIUI ROM with an iOS theme.
OK, will keep looking. I had a CM rom sometime where I could move the clock to the middle so was hoping that it was all doable.

Start with "Espier" launcher and take it from there. If you like iphone then you might want to find "Smart Keyboard Pro" which will let you use same keyboard as iPhone.

Is there a way to mimetize iOS smooth animation and screen transitions?
http://youtu.be/g8FAU-gnN-E?t=1m16s
Short answer: no.
Long answer: Most ROMs come with window transition mamanger. While it may not be the same it provides some cool animations.
The closest thing is MiUi. Other than that, and anyone can correct me of I'm wrong, you can't get animations like that.

I've heard of MIUI. The problem is the excessive customizations made on top of Android. I really like the feel of Vanilla Android.
Thank you very much.

Try Slimkat it has built in animations you can choose what you like. But the answer is no you can't get the exact transitions.
Twisted kat definitely had a few iPhone animations as default such as changing from on app to another
